She & Him Set Tour

With a new album coming out in May, the duo consisting of Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward launch a one-month tour in mid-June. With Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell on two dates, Camera Obscura on several, the journey begins at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium.

She & Him will be touring in support of their new album, Volume 3, the follow-up to their very successful 2010 release, appropriately titled Volume 2. Featuring 11 tunes written by Deschanel plus three covers, the disc was produced by Ward and recorded in Los Angeles, Portland, Ore., and New York City.

Oh, and the next time you watch Deschanel’s TV show, “New Girl,” look for scenes when she’s not on camera. It’s been reported that she wrote the songs during “small pockets of downtime” while filming the Fox Television sitcom.
